This week is Prank Week inside the Big Brother 21 house, and Zingbot made his return tonight for the Power of Veto (POV) competition. Nick Maccarone was voted America’s Prankster while also being nominated to the block by Head of Household (HOH), Holly Allen. Nick secretly took half of Holly’s HOH powers and nominated the second houseguest to the block which was Christie Murphy.

Now Christie and Nick sit on the block for eviction this week and only the POV competition can save their games. Who will win the Power of Veto (POV) competition tonight? Most importantly, what zings will Zingbot use to roast this year’s houseguests?

This Big Brother 21 week, Christie sits on the block again, alongside Nick Maccarone, so Taco Tuesday still looms large over whatever might happen this Thursday. While things aren’t looking good for Nick right now, I really think this could go either way. It ultimately likely comes down to what Head of Household Holly Allen wants, as Jackson Michie, Nicole Anthony, and Cliff Hogg III will likely follow suit. With that said, let’s jump into this week’s Big Brother 21 power rankings, before things get shifted around once again.

Only a week ago, we had the infamous Taco Tuesday showdown between Christie Murphy and Nick Maccarone. It helped stay Christie in the game, and helped get a target on Nick’s back. It was one of the most exciting moments of Big Brother 21 thus far. Well, this Taco Tuesday had none of the same glory of the previous one.

It was a rather boring Tuesday with very little game talks or even excitement. The big event of the day was the mud mask party where everyone had a mini-spa day. The fans waited around hoping for another clown invasion, something, but we got nothing most of the day.

We are now at week nine inside the Big Brother 21 house with only eight houseguests remaining. Holly Allen just won Head of Household, and was the first HOH repeat winner of the season. In addition to her wins, her showmance partner Jackson Michie was presiding over the house as HOH the week prior, so the power couple have been in charge for two straights weeks now. At this late point in the game, that’s pretty impressive.

In addition to their obvious alliance together, they have managed to become quite close with Cliff Hogg III and Nicole Anthony. Michie and Cliff have spoken of a final four that they both seemed anxious to embrace, should the game work out that way. With Holly’s HOH win, albeit somewhat underscored by Nick Maccarone’s prankster power, and Michie’s Power of Veto win, the couple have the most powerful position in the game…at the moment.

Nick ranted to Nicole Anthony about how Tommy betrayed him, and how he also betrayed former allies Jack Matthews and Analyse Talavera. Nick was so pissed at Tommy, and Cliff Hogg III that he said that he didn’t respect their games. He discussed not giving them a hug bye.
